Description Cambridge Under Queen Anne by John Eyton Bickerstech Mayor

Excerpt from Cambridge Under Queen Anne: Illustrated by Memoir of Ambrose Bonwicke and Diaries of Francis Burman and Zacharias Conrad Von Uffenbach The book which is here given to the world, begun many years ago, but still in an unfinished state, is one for which Cambridge antiquarians have often longed. Dr H. P. Stokes and the Rev. F. G. Walker - to whom the best thanks of all of us are due - have been responsible for the arrangement by which the printed sheets have been transferred to the Cambridge Antiquarian Society- and I have gladly complied with the suggestion of Mr Bowes that I should write a short prefatory note for the volume. Originally the work was intended by Professor Mayor to be a collection of three tracts - the memoir of Ambrose Bonwicke, and the visits to Cambridge of F. Burman and Uffenbach - and it was to have borne the general title of Cambridge under Queen Anne. As time went on, however, Professor Mayor found himself unable to complete the notes to Uffenbach's narrative, and eventually published the Life of Bonwicke by itself in 1870.
